Discgolf course

Discgolf course

Frisbee + Golf = Discgolf Just like with golf, you make your play from a starting zone. Instead of a golf ball, a frisbee disc glides through the air; instead of a hole, it lands in a catch-basket. The objective is to "sink" your frisbee with as few tosses as possible. So much for the distinctions. Both sports require patience, concentration and steadiness, those are the sporting virtues they have in common. 18-hole downhill course You tee off at 1,850 meters altitude at the mountain terminal of the Sonnkogelbahn. Then you work your way hole by hole down to the Sonnenalm at 1,400 meters.

Merging landscapes with the pleasures of art, that is something which was genuinely achieved on the Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See in the so-called "Gallery on the Ski-Slope - Art on the Mountain". Creatively designed works of art can be admired in the middle of the beautiful mountain landscape of Schmitten by natural and cultural enthusiasts in summer. During the course of five symposiums, artists created more than 30 over-dimensional objects and sculputers, which are placed near to the hiking trails.
